Latrodectus Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) As someone just getting back into Bionicle, I never bought any Hero Factory sets. Not because I didn't like them, mind you, but because 2008-2010 just turned me off of Bionicle and Lego in general and the 2011 Hero Factory sets looked like more of the same lame Agori-style build. Now that I'm getting back into Bionicle, I've noticed just how good a lot of the CCBS Hero Factory sets look, and I have no CCBS parts outside the Bionicles I purchased. I also gave away most of my pre-2015 Bionicle parts to kids since I wasn't using them after I left Bionicle. Do the veteran Hero Factory builders here have any suggestions for good sets to use for CCBS parts (and to build too)? I'd prefer sets that aren't predominantly silver, gunmetal, or grey, since I've had enough of those colors for one lifetime.

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Ya, Witch Doctor is the best set to use for parts because he have a lot of stuff and balljoints Quote My Topics MOCs: Construct-a-Astronaut __________________________________________________ Find Me On Flickr Twitter Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latrodectus Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks, I'll check out the Witch Doctor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes, definitely Witch Doctor (though all the ball joints are red, which is a real shame). Another few sets I've liked are Evo's XL Machine, Tunneler Beast, and Rocka's Stealth Machine. Depending on what colors you're looking for, they can provide a good amount of parts, but the best thing about them is they each have a lot of the smaller joints and other valuable parts. I'm not an avid collector of Hero Factory by any means, but I've at least found those useful.

Sybre Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Since black isn't out of the question, allow me to bring up 44029 Queen Beast vs. Furno, Evo & Stormer. It's got a little bit of grey, but that can be overlooked. Anyway, excluding your mentioned colors, it provides five, that's right, five, different colors for you to use (sure, there's more than that, but I mean colors that come in a decent quantity and aren't ones you wanted to leave out). These colors are black, yellow, trans lime green, sky blue, and gold. However, these colors are limited to specific pieces in the set, like limb pieces and armor, but they're cool pieces nonetheless. Also, the Crystal Beast set has some nice transparent pieces. But if you want real MOCing, look no further than the Breez polybag.

Aanchir Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I definitely agree with Witch Doctor, but Evo XL Machine also has a lot of great parts, including several that didn't exist when Witch Doctor was released. And Evo XL Machine might be easier to find on clearance in brick-and-mortar stores (whereas Witch Doctor would be hard to find except online). 2 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldero Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Depends on what parts you want. I may or may not have purchased Witch Doctor for the sweet parts, but in hindsight, I should have bought two, as my Witch Doctor set is barely together anymore. If you want unique pieces, I would recommend some of the more varied sets. Brain Attack and Breakout sets are the place to go for that. 1 Quote < -< =<o>= >- > Ha!

Xabla Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Witch Doctor. If your money is tight, Toxic Reapa. Quote cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yep, Witch Doctor is a good start for gaining black, white and red pieces. The set also provides a lot of red friction ball pieces, which can come in handy with the CCBS plating pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anapouri Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 So the Witch Doctor is good for parts? I was interested in how many black, red, and white parts he had. I just purchased on off of Ebay for a good price, along with the red Furno mech from the last line of the HERO FACTORY theme that I hope to use both for spare parts to make BIONICLE MOCs with. He looks good for building frames and limbs with.
